Equipment

  • 1 pot

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken broth drippings or canned
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2% is best
  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 8 leaves basil fresh, or 1 tsp
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced

Instructions

  • In a saucepan on the stovetop add diced onions with 1 tbsp butter. Saute until translucent and golden. Add minced garlic in sauce pan.
  • Add 2 tbsp butter, allow to melt. Sprinkle in your flour or cornstarch and quickly whisk together until creamy, not allowing it to clump.
  • Whisk in milk and chicken drippings or broth until smooth. Then add diced fresh basil + a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to boil so it thickens, taste, adjust seasonings as needed and then remove from stovetop.
  • Serve immediately. As it cools it will continue to thicken, add more broth to thin out.
